Elisa’s Quotes

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
― Anne Rice

Did you put up a review for Night Magic? I liked that one until the last third. Still decent but I felt it was so rushed... and what that woman says about the main girl going off and getting herself traumatized is heinously bad.
